Me and my wife historically have played Diablo together a lot. Do I need to buy a second copy for her to play on Xbox with me using her own account?
You only need 1 account with a copy of the game.
She needs to have an Xbox account and a battlenet account. Both of which are made for free with an email. When you start Diablo, you’ll press start on her controller and it will prompt you to sign into her Xbox account, and then to link her account to a battlenet account.
I’ve been having a blast with my wife the past few days. It’s one of her favorite games now and she’s always asking to play it
One caveat to the above poster’s comment is that the second player will not be allowed to play without the person who owns the game on their account. We have a single PS5 with 4 people in the family who play (2 at a time obviously) and the others each have a character on my account so that any combination of us can play together or anyone can play solo who wishes. This is rather annoying as the account shares a lot of resources so I just have to hope one doesn’t blow all my gold on a respec later…
This should no longer be an issue now that early access is over.
Sharing was only not allowed during the early access, My wife and I now both play on our own PS5s and only I bought a copy of the game.
Yeah thats no longer the case now its fully released. Can confirm this as my partner has played today on the PS5 without me being logged in.
Wife still can’t play because of the rubbish link system , seems her battlenet link to xbox gets directed to mine , removes my link and locks her out when I switch back
Idk, my wife and daughter both have battle.net accounts as well, each of our PSN accounts are attached to each of our battle.net accounts. I am the “owner” of the ps5 (we only have one) and owner of the game. They each cannot start the game, it tries to make them buy it each time they try, it has to be played with my account only then one of them can join in. My brother doesn’t have this issue on his Xbox with his wife, but idk why we do?

I’d really like to resolve this if it’s just me. I thought it was a PlayStation vs Xbox thing but you have a ps5…any thoughts on what I could do to resolve this?
